A two-day transit remand was granted by the Chief Judicial Magistrate of 24 North Parganas, and Kar has since been brought back to Naharlagun for further proceedings.

In a separate case (Naharlagun PS Case No. 47/25 U/S 305(a) BNS), a woman alleged that ₹4 lakh had been fraudulently withdrawn from her bank account by an individual identified as Srinu Chekka (33).
